Bug #2037: [PATCH] Alias Dir#path to Dir#to_path

The Dir class does not have a #to_path method. This means that although it calls #to_path on arguments it expects to be directories, its instances cannot be used as such arguments. The File class has #to_path as an alias for #path.

The attached trivial patch simply adds an alias for Dir#path named Dir#to_path.

Before:

  >> Dir.entries(Dir.new('/tmp')).size
  TypeError: can't convert Dir into String
	from (irb):2:in `open'
	from (irb):2:in `entries'
	from (irb):2
	from /usr/local/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'

After:  

  >> Dir.entries(Dir.new('/tmp')).size
  => 245
